Some unrelated financial news for the first time in a while... Pardon the poor taste but where do you get off naming your daughter Nixzmary?! Is that Pig Latin by chance? Leonard Lauder, Estee Lauder, Clinique, MAC, Aveda, Bobbi Brown and Stila Chairman of the Board has peeled off $131 million for the struggling Whitney Museum. Lauder's donation is expected to encourage other rich white men to donate, perhaps giving the Whit the financial support it needs to carry on... Two 19-year-olds who somehow work together at a bar on Bleecker Street (maybe its a milk bar?) were hanging out when dudebro #1 passed out. Dudebro #2 decided to strip dudebro #1 down to his boxers and spray paint him blue. Yeah, well dudebro #1 never woke up. Yeah, my man died. Dudebro #2 has not been charged with any crime, but the OCME will be conducting a Smurf autopsy today.... Uh oh, Channel 4 news anchor Darlene Rodriguez' husband, a Sergeant with the New Rochelle police has been charged with first degree rape of a 17-year-old girl. Investigators said the girl described that Rodriguez's pubic hair was shaved. Nasty. New Rochelle police, executing a search warrant that forced Sgt. David Rodriguez to drop his pants, found that the cop's pubic area is in fact shaved - just as the girl had told investigators. Darlene Rodriguez, co-anchor of the early-morning "Today in New York" show - has been suspended with pay. She has three children with her husband... Oh and yesterday I rode the N which – running on the D line – back into Brooklyn with Larry Kirwan of Black 47.
